I got this error too on Windows a few days ago while running an NSE
benchmark test for Patrick. It happened every time with

nmap.exe -v -d --datadir . -n -PN --host-timeout 10m --min-hostgroup 512 \
--max-parallelism 10 -p 20-25,53,80,443,113,8080,110,995 --script \
"(safe or default) and not whois" -iL common_ips.txt

nmap.exe -v -d --datadir . -n -PN --host-timeout 10m --min-hostgroup 512 \
--max-parallelism 100 -p 20-25,53,80,443,113,8080,110,995 --script \
"not intrusive" -iL common_ips.txt

It happened maybe 10% of the time with

nmap.exe -v -d --datadir . -n -PN --host-timeout 10m --min-hostgroup 512 \
--max-parallelism 100 -p 80 --script html-title -iL common_ips.txt
